A: Yes, you are eligible as long as you are a permanent resident of Uttarakhand. You must provide proof of:

Permanent residency in Uttarakhand (domicile certificate or other proof)

Q5: Can I apply if I’m currently employed in another state?

A: No. You must be a permanent resident of Uttarakhand and registered with an Uttarakhand Employment Exchange. If you’re employed outside Uttarakhand, you’ll need to establish permanent residency and employment exchange registration in Uttarakhand before applying. Contact your local employment exchange for registration procedures.

Q6: Is there any interview round, or is selection based only on the written test?

A: Selection is based solely on the written test (100 marks). There is NO interview round. Your merit rank from the 100-mark written exam is final (after document verification confirms eligibility). This makes the written test extremely important — every mark matters.

Q7: What is the exam date, and how much time do I have to prepare?

A: Exam Date: July 26, 2026 (44 days from today, June 12)

Q10: What is the salary of AAO Class-1 vs. AAO Class-3?

A: AAO Class-1 (Gazetted):

Higher pay grade (likely Pay Level 8-9)
Estimated monthly salary: ₹1,10,000+ (in-hand)
Higher designation and responsibilities
Limited vacancies (7 posts, M.Sc. required)

AAO Class-3:

Pay Level 7
Monthly salary: ₹85,610 (gross), ₹77,266 (in-hand)
82 vacancies (more opportunities)
